[Chester LUG] Any perl gurus out there ?

[Stuart Burns]

Hi Everyone,

I am in the process of learning perl but need to finish a program quickly
but am stuck on something. I am in the process of creating a very simple
script to create a gallery from random files and urls. To expand a bit, what
I am trying to do is the following:

read in a file that is in the following format:

1.jpg|http://www.site1.com/
2.jpg|http://www.site2.com/

etc all the way up to 500

Then, randomly choose 20 of the images, and put them into a variable so I
can spit them out into the format:

 <a href="http://www.site1.com/"><Img src="1.jpg"></a>

Can anyone please help me with this. The main problem I am having is
splitting up the file with the source information in it, as I dont know how
to read it into an array and split it.

Any help appreciated.

Stu
